Scalemaster Immediate Regeneration Triggered by Capacity Reached

Softener regenerates at unexpected times during the day when water is in use

Possible Causes

Regeneration mode set to "immediate" instead of "delayed", Very small capacity setting, Flow meter miscounting usage, Incorrect time-of-day setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No hazard, but can be inconvenient.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check regen mode: In the programming menu, ensure regeneration is set to occur at a set time (delayed) rather than immediately when capacity is reached.
  • 2. Adjust capacity: Set a realistic capacity based on resin size and hardness.
  • 3. Correct time: Ensure the clock is accurate so "night" regeneration occurs at the intended time.
